My name is Dexter Portalis, I am a 23 year old Spoken Word Poet and a self publishing author.
I just want to feel closure I want her to close the gap that separates us from getting closer But there’s canyons of trust issues that become the biggest issue we face Echoes from past relations along with your unfaithful accusations which leaves us in this abundance of confrontation But I only wanted to feel closure I just wanted her to come closer I'm not trying to fast forward time it’s just life is short so I'm sitting here just trying to pray and debate these feelings Because I ****** up and caught feelings for her It was her eyes that caught my eye The first night she laid her head on my chest and cried because yet another guy got into her mind Now I’m sitting here with your head on my chest My shirt drench with a mixture of her sweet aroma and tears realizing I'm just the guy she runs to when some other man runs from her Thinking maybe it’s my status Maybe the latitude of my reputation doesn't meet the longitude of her popularity which is why the coordinates of us being together cannot be found on this map of love But I guess I'm just not high enough to fly with your social standards It seems like she can't really grasp the thought of a good man She just wants to exhale the good feelings and inhale the countless amount of pain and strain from ******* guys as her lungs become black holes due to the many hoes she's been replaced by But if he cheated on his previous boo with you then who the hell said you wouldn't be victim number two? See I was a little too late Fate wasn't on my side as I was in a race not even knowing it and I lost because I tried to be a gentlemen and give her something she wasn’t used to but she refused me as she returned to what she was used to She just wasn't used to me But she always said she was waiting on her Superman not realizing she’s been passing up Clark Kent every day And I wasn't going to contemplate with the thought that I should change my ways just to get her Because I know that even if I get her I'll already be tired of her because I've used all my energy just to get her Running Boston marathons and getting bombed by my competition just for her attention I was tired of hearing your voice miles away I wanted it to come closer and reveal your tender exposure I just wanted your closure I wanted your presence closer I had your friendship now I just wanted to feel the whole experience I was tired of your friend zone I was tired of working your part time position I was tired of only feeling closure from you when you needed someone to be close to you It wasn't even me you wanted you only thirsted for the essence of a human touch It’s like you used me But on some real **** I really just wanted some real **** I just wanted some closure I wanted to feel her closer I wanted her mind body and soul to come closer to me

Closure (Come Closer)
I just want to feel closure I want her to close the gap that separates us from getting closer But there’s canyons of trust issues that become the biggest issue we face Echoes from past relations along with your unfaithful accusations which leaves us in this abundance of confrontation But I only wanted to feel closure I just wanted her to come closer I'm not trying to fast forward time it’s just life is short so I'm sitting here just trying to pray and debate these feelings Because I ****** up and caught feelings for her It was her eyes that caught my eye The first night she laid her head on my chest and cried because yet another guy got into her mind Now I’m sitting here with your head on my chest My shirt drench with a mixture of her sweet aroma and tears realizing I'm just the guy she runs to when some other man runs from her Thinking maybe it’s my status Maybe the latitude of my reputation doesn't meet the longitude of her popularity which is why the coordinates of us being together cannot be found on this map of love But I guess I'm just not high enough to fly with your social standards It seems like she can't really grasp the thought of a good man She just wants to exhale the good feelings and inhale the countless amount of pain and strain from ******* guys as her lungs become black holes due to the many hoes she's been replaced by But if he cheated on his previous boo with you then who the hell said you wouldn't be victim number two?

It started with our late nights and early morning conversations The random occasions that turned into night caps of psychological *********** is what intrigued me I only want to know her on a platonic level I want us to feel something different Something real Because truth is when you speak I get a little weak The vibrating waves of your voice sends my adrenaline into a rush of multiple frequences It causes me to have premature ventricular contractions Meaning you make my heart skip beats In other words I want us to have soul *** Our bodies to touch but with clothes on because you haven't been fully naked until you've allowed your fears to be exposed Understand this isn’t a ****** prose I want this poem to reroute the superficial ****** game that men played with you Tonight my only intentions are for us to get high But not with herbs I want us to be faded with nouns and verbs that speak life as I ignite this erratic twelve play because the foreplay is just for play Eargasms that constrict our minds let our spirits bind from the moments when I forgot to pull out by not realizing I was coming on too hard No need for protection when we experience the cerebral stimulating erections from the raw *********** of sedated discussions Imagine the eruptions you’ll experience when you vibe off me Can you feel it yet? No? Maybe a little deeper is what you need I need for you to feed me your thought process so I can taste your emotions If this poem had a body you would be the brain So let me investigate your introspection by interviewing every inch of you Reaching the climactic **** of this conversation by deep stroking into your deepest seas so I can see exactly what lies inside a divine mind You will make the seven wonders wonder where they went wrong A love we share that's so vividly deep even the four oceans will be jealous of its depth I want us to be in depth with each other I want my thoughts to wrestle with your feelings and your questions play hide and go seek with my answers Suffocate me with your beauty Ravish me with every word so I feel the sensations from two sapiosexuals making love I want us to stargaze under Jupiter’s moon as we stare into the solar system trying to combine our souls with God’s system Let’s touch each star as we track down a meteor shower and shower each other with laughs for hours until you’ve fallen asleep on my chest And the best part of it all is watching you sleep Because as you lay here I have dreams about your dreams Then realize how jealous I am because your dreams can see parts of you that I’m still dying to meet So if I am someday privileged to make this come true, you must allow me to fall in love with you

If I could I'd climb the levee's that border your heart and dive into the deepest part of your soul despite my fear of drowning I would have no intentions to walk on this water My only intentions is to show you my ability to walk by faith So blind me as I ascend above your walls with no sight just so I can fall deep within the typhoons of your curly hair They remind me of the tidal waves from the seven seas so if I had to narrow it down you would be something like the Pacific A body of emotional tsunamis with catastrophic surges from a series of seismic earthquakes but truth is I love being your plate tectonic I want to be a part of all your movements But you also remind me of a twister A rapid spinning tornado moving swiftly while trying to avoid the encounter of a relationship Not knowing sometimes love requires you to swim over to the deep end And if you do so… Know that I will crave you in the weirdest way by drowning myself beneath your abyss until I fall so deep my face is found engraved on your body like the tattoos on your hips I will tattoo myself on your lips and pierce passion marks across the pigments of your skin until you wear my infatuation like makeup I will dive into your realm and drown myself in your irises until my spirit rises into a plethora of passion So let me be the first to say that your something like a Goddess, reminding me of the daughter of Poseidon I get so lost when I listen to your voice Those vibrato's remind me of a clash of thunder during storms A deep blue sea of waves crashing onto the shorelines of my chest just trying to penetrate its corridors But I am no longer afraid of drowning I am only afraid of falling this deep alone So let's take this dive of faith and runaway holding faith and endless possibilities Until we become more vast than the Pacific Ocean

I told her to be my canvas As I can become the painter I want to show her how we can work together Like two people who build forever I told her to become my muse so I can paint my future onto her rich melanin Until the tempera soaks into her veins But she told me it was bad timing So I figured I would paint her into the right time Creating a portrait that will be the depiction of her perfection But then I wondered, Why does a beautiful work of art continue to live alone Just trying to understand why she hasn’t been taken Why hasn't someone invested their life savings into her It’s as though she was placed in the finest museum But her radiance is overlooked because of its tainted history Her canvas is ripped and torn with bruises and scars Telling me how rough of a past she's had She cotton and linen is ripped And her soul is broken Her paint is smeared upon her face like tear dops Yet I still find myself staring at her colors Only wishing she knew how much I did not overlook her Instead I looked past the rejection and visualized a painting whose core has been damaged one too times Now I realize it'll take a lot more than weak compliments and mediocre conversation to dig into her deep chromatic tint What she needs Is a man who is bold enough to recreate the glow she thinks she no longer has To repaint the damaged acrylic that was smeared across her heart I would drown myself into each delicate stroke if it meant I could recreate her Staring for hours just trying to understand what was originally used to paint her If only she could see the red paint that bleed from the bristles of my hands attempting to paint a portrait of us together If only she knew how florescent her smile lightens up my canvas Even on the days where the lack of creativity suffocates me She flourishes each painting She gives it life, she gives me life She is my muse My highest source of creativity And if only I could someday sit her down And explain to her That I only want to use this tempera to create you into my cover girl Because no girl contains the beautiful pigments that have been stained upon your skin It’s like angels used the clouds as a canvas Attempting to paint an image that contains the both of us in one setting And maybe that will be convincing enough to prove to her That her eyes hypnotize me with a cosmetic chromatic kaleidoscope from each flip of my paintbrush But I only wish she knew That there's just something about the art I think we could create

I was a ****** to the taste of alcohol for 18 years until the day I lost it to you My first drink was a mix between reality and denial This glass consumed the toxins from this relationship that I fell addictive too I guess that makes you a double shot of *** No, I guess that makes you alcohol poisoning Because it felt as though you broke into my liquor cabinet and wrote your name on each bottle Just to remind me why I am drinking in the first place You shattered those empty bottles against my heart until I bled our memories I guess that was your way of breaking the bad news You used each shard to pierce my ribs Becuase you never wanted to see us as one Each shot of Tequila reminds me just how our relationship tasted Sweet when drunk, but bitter when sober Your name ran marathons down my esophagus anytime I found myself swallowing the sharp cracks and dents from this Crown A puddle of Crown sat stagnant at the bottom of my stomach Normally, Brown is the only thing that sparks a fire in my throat But your attitude was more flammable than a full bottle of Everclear And not even Bacardi 151 burns as bad as the feeling you left on my lips I yearned for the nights where it was just me, you, and Hennessey But now I spend my 2 am nights in the deepest of conversation with Jim and Jack But each sip brings me closer to the bottom Reminding me how we hit rock bottom We hit rock bottom when you drove this relationship straight into a brick wall You allowed our love to ride in the passenger unbuckled So I guess that makes you a murderer Because you killed everything we had And now that you’re gone I subconsciously drink slowly I drive slow Hoping reality won't hit me so hard I was hoping to eventually find you when I swallowed the last drop Searching for the paradise I tried to give us while downing this Long Island But instead I was brought back to the realization that you and alcohol go hand and hand Both giving me the best feeling one night Then leaving me numb With the same emptiness I felt before I picked up this bottle And the last thing I want Is to wake up tomorrow morning With the remnants of your taste still sitting on the tip of my tongue You are my hangover

We are like hurricanes On first sight appear we terrifying Because all you know about us is what you've heard from others Which is why when you first look at me You will see a vicious storm One whose winds are meant to keep people as far away as possible One whose winds can damage anything that stands too close Tornado's filled with the debris of past heartbreaks and insecurities Destroying anything within it's pathway So I understand if you must escape Because monsters like me are not meant to be loved I have the rage of catastrophic typhoons without full moons These scars have minds of their own People, become blinded with terror when staring at the destruction we leave behind… So I understand if staying here isn't safe for you But we are only searching for storm chasers I will show you why we are just as beautiful as anyone else I will prove why storms are named after people The only difference, Is that we are broken Swiveling through life searching for someone who will look past the destruction we left behind from people who weren't brave enough to love us Because there is so much more to a hurricane Other than our twisters of painful behavior Do not judge me based off what you see from the outside I am not perfect I am only trying to remind you That you will not witness my beauty Until you become bold enough to reach my eye But if you can’t... Know that I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible I will leave such am imprint on you The next person you choose to entertain will have to know ME before they even know you Just to prove That not all storms are the bad kind Because we storms breaks just as easy, as anyone else
